Ex-Splatterhouse dev fires back at Namco Bandai

Last week, Namco Bandai explained why it abruptly rescinded its development agreement with California-based BottleRocket Entertainment for the forthcoming hyperviolent beat-'em-up Splatterhouse. According to Namco Bandai of America COO Makoto Iwai, the move stemmed from unspecified "performance issues," and "the only reason why publishers pull the project out from the developer is when the developer isn't really meeting the requirements."
